2 out of 5 stars Tiny buttons, tiny sound   October 19, 2008
Mike (Orange County Ca)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Really wanted to like this product. But, unfortunately, I had to return it.

I didn't like the small buttons, kept trying to push enter and kept getting volume. Those tiny little speakers on the side are terrible. Also, screen is a little small and hard to see.

If you use the ear buds, sound is great. But I just wanted a simple recorder to make quick notes to my self.



3 out of 5 stars battery life a problem   October 16, 2008

It's interesting that some owners report good battery life, others report bad. The one I bought is BAD. It used up a battery in about 5 hours of use, which I thought was too short. So I put in a new battery and put the device in LOCK (it powered off, according to display). Four days later when I turned it on to record something, the battery was virtually flat. It ran about 10 minutes and shut down.

So I found Sony's tech help and emailed them. Seems there may be problems because they responded by sending me this link.

In summary it says battery life should be normal. If not, your unit needs repair.

Not putting a battery in until you need it is not a good option. I tried that and every time I turned it on, it required me to set the date before I could proceed. That's not acceptable, especially since it takes several seconds to boot up anyway. Forget starting a recording quickly.

Otherwise the recorder does its job well. I like the mp3 file format, and recording are decent quality. I like Sony products, but this is the third device that has murdered batteries (the other two are digital cameras). This one is going back, not to repair.



5 out of 5 stars Definitely worth the money over cheaper alternatives   September 30, 2008
S. Wang (Storrs, CT)
This recorder is perfect! My girlfriend spent about $30 less and got the basic Olympus recorder, and it's AWFUL compared to this Sony. I've also listened to other students' recordings using lower-end Sonys, Memorex, RCA, etc. None of them compare to this. I've been absolutely spoiled by the crystal clear stereo recording quality and direct USB drive functionality. Bottom line is, this is COMPLETELY worth the extra bit you pay over a basic recorder. It's one of the best investments to my education that I've made. The ability to easily understand recordings made anywhere in a lecture hall really can't be underestimated.

There have been conflicting reports of whether this can charge a battery through USB. I've just been using generic alkalines, so I'll report back when I buy rechargeables. I'm getting about 2 weeks of usage (approx 12-15 hours) out of each AAA. More inexpensive players tend to run through 2 AAA's at the same rate.

got it for recording my classes at college. super lightweight and the color red is beautiful without making it flashy.
really simple to use. i was sitting far from the front rows and it recorded everything with such crisp and clear sound.
it comes with the batteries, a usb connecting dock although you can plug t directly to the computer. it works perfectly on my Mac.
i'm extremely happy with my purchase :)



4 out of 5 stars Nice size   September 22, 2008
Anthony Quernemoen (A good place)
Can't find a case for it, though. So I accidentally turn it on when it is my pocket and it wears the battery down. Nice for driving.
